    163 The riddle of the Confused Master and the charming heart

    Xie Lian’s heart beat wildly, and even his fingertips trembled slightly.

    But he calmed down and did not make a sound. He just raised his head slightly and said in Huacheng’s ear: “…Don’t move, Sanlang. The voice outside is very similar to my master. Don’t be discovered yet…”

    Although they were very similar, he couldn’t say for sure.Because there are people with very similar voices in the world, and he and the Imperial Master have not seen each other for hundreds of years, so it is not impossible for him to remember them.There is no need to act rashly now, just wait and see what happens, maybe you can find out more secrets.Huacheng also lowered his head slightly, hugged his waist, and whispered: “Okay… don’t move either.”

    The two of them were pressed against each other by the earth and rocks from all directions. Their ears and temples were rubbing against each other, and their ears were slightly warm.Although it was inappropriate, Xie Lian still thought of something: “The taste of ‘death in the same hole’ is not bad.” At this time, the voice said again: “Where are the two of them? Where did they go?”

    “The two of them”? There are actually two accomplices?

    Xie Lian wanted to hear carefully who was talking to him, but the strange thing was that the “National Preceptor” – let’s call him “National Preceptor”, after he asked the question, there was no reply.

    Really weird.At this distance, both Xie Lian and Huacheng could hear the “National Master’s” question. Logically speaking, his voice was not very loud and he did not shout at the top of his lungs. Therefore, the other party should not be far away from him. If he answered, he could hear it more or less.However, the truth is, nothing is audible.

    The “National Master” said again: “Thank you for their hard work.But don’t worry about those little weeds, they won’t affect the climate.We have more important things to do right now.”

    Xie Lian thought: “What’s going on?This is obviously a response. Are you talking to someone?”

    The “National Master” outside seemed to be talking to himself or talking to the air.This strange scene appeared in Xie Lian’s mind, and he immediately shook it off. There is another possibility in his mind, that is, the “National Master” can hear that person’s voice, but others cannot.

    The doubts in his mind grew stronger and stronger, and he listened more carefully with bated breath.As soon as the “National Master” opened his mouth, each sentence was worthy of consideration, and then he said: “Are there only so many people in the mountain?In short, let’s take them to the copper furnace first, and then I will find a way to deal with them one by one.The sooner the better, we must arrive within two days.”

    Copper stove!

    Moreover, it is still “within two days”. Shuchi Senri cannot be used in Tonglu Mountain. How can we get there in two days?Or bring a group of people there?”Dispose of”, what kind of “disposal” method is used?

    After a pause, the voice said again: “Call the two of them over, let’s go to the copper furnace together.To deal with His Royal Highness, one cannot be missing. He is still in a state of not fully awakening. If he wakes up…it is hard to imagine what he will do this time.”

    Xie Lian was stunned.Is this talking about him?

    At this time, the mountain rumbling, Xie Lian heard the national master outside: “What’s wrong?”

    He also said to Huacheng inside the stone wall: “What’s wrong?”

    Huacheng whispered: “There are changes over there.”

    Before Xie Lian could react, Hua Cheng pressed his forehead.In front of Xie Lian’s right eyes, the scene of Yinyu and Quan Yizhen in the cave appeared again.Moreover, it should be a slightly earlier scenario.Yinyu finally dug Quan Yizhen out of the stone wall, and dragged him down panting to breathe.Unexpectedly, Quan Yizhen, who was unconscious, suddenly jumped up and took off the mask from his face!

    Just now, Quan Yizhen was pretending to be faint!

    Come to think of it, he was very familiar with Yinyu’s habit of walking around when thinking, the tone of her voice, and the force with which she hit people. I’m afraid he would know who it was when Yinyu took a picture with a shovel.But I never expected that Quan Yizhen’s temperament would one day lead to deception.Although this is just a common little trick, when it comes to Quan Yizhen, it is unprecedented.Therefore, no one was prepared. Under the mask, there was Yinyu’s shocked and pale face, obviously stunned.Quan Yizhen was so excited that he jumped up with blood on his head and said: “Senior brother!”

    Yinyu seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying, the corners of his mouth twisted, and he suddenly put his hands on his head and said: “I’m not!”

    After shouting loudly, he ran away, hitting the people behind him while running back, saying: “Don’t follow me!Don’t follow me!”

    Quan Yizhen also chased after him, completely ignoring the bombardment and only shouted: “Senior brother!It’s me!”

    Yinyu roared: “Damn it, it’s you who is scary!Don’t follow me!”

    The two of them chased and beat each other, causing the mountain to rumble.Here, the Imperial Master asked in confusion: “What are you doing over there?Why is it so noisy?”

    Still no one answered him, but the Imperial Master seemed to understand and said: “I see, children nowadays are really so noisy.I’ll leave first, and then we’ll meet again when you get near the copper furnace!”

    He was about to leave right now.Hearing this, Huacheng covered Xie Lian’s ears again. Xie Lian closed his eyes. For a moment, there was a violent vibration all over his body. The stone wall that he had been bending for a long time was finally exploded. The two of them jumped out together, landed lightly, and breathed fresh air again.However, there was an empty cave outside. There was no national master, and there was no mysterious second person. He had long since disappeared without a trace.

    Xie Lian and Hua Cheng looked at each other and were not in a hurry to catch up. Before they could separate, a man in black rushed in from the cave opposite, it was Yin Yu.He brandished the earth master’s shovel and ran towards the two of them, saying: “City Lord!!!His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!!!”

    Behind him, Quan Yizhen, who had been beaten to a bloody head, also rushed in.Huacheng waved his hand without raising his head, only to hear a bang. Quan Yizhen immediately raised his hand to block it. However, Huacheng’s move could not be blocked by his fists. A burst of red smoke exploded around him.After the smoke slowly dissipated, only a round red tumbler was left, spinning.The roly-poly opened his eyes wide and looked innocent.It’s the same trick Huacheng used against Lang Qianqiu last time.Only then did Yinyu stop running wildly, wiped off some cold sweat, walked over, and said: “Thank you City Lord.”

    Huacheng Road: “You’re not so scared, are you?”

    Yin Yu was still frightened, and said with a wry smile: “To be honest, when I see His Highness Qiying, I just want to run as far away as possible.”

    Xie Lian listened, feeling both amused and sympathetic.It seems that Yinyu really has a serious shadow on Quan Yizhen’s “personality”.The roly-poly was still on the ground, and Baba was swaying around with his eyes wide open. No one paid attention to him.Xie Lian looked pitiful and was about to pick it up when he suddenly felt a violent tremor on the ground and his body was swaying, almost even worse than the tumbler. He hurriedly regained his composure and said, “What’s wrong?The ground is shaking?”

    Although Xie Lian did not need support, Huacheng still supported him and said to Yinyu: “Open a hole and go out and take a look.”

    Yinyu recovered very quickly and said: “Yes!”

    After answering, he picked up the earth master’s shovel and soon opened a hole in one side of the stone wall with swift and unparalleled speed.The sunlight from outside shone in, and Yinyu took a look, with a look of surprise on his face.Xie Lian said: “Your Highness Yinyu, is the ground shaking or is the mountain about to collapse?”

    Yin Yu said: “None of them!It’s this mountain monster…it’s running!”

    Is it running?Xie Lian and Huacheng looked at each other, rushed forward, and looked outside the mountain monster.

    It’s really running!Outside the mountain, the scenery and mountains and rivers on one side are receding rapidly, almost becoming colorful lines.From this point of view, they seemed to be riding on a speeding carriage, or sitting on the shoulders of a galloping giant!

    Hills, rivers, plains, and woods were all flattened under the feet of this mountain monster, crushed by it to make way for it.The howling wind surged in from outside the cave entrance, and the hair and clothes of the three people were flying. Yin Yu said: “If we run like this, I’m afraid it will take two days to reach the copper furnace…”

    Two days?After hearing this, Xie Lian suddenly felt enlightened.

    No wonder!No wonder they couldn’t hear the reply from “the other person”. No wonder the Imperial Master asked the other party to take them to Tonglu Mountain within two days.

    Because at that time, the “National Master” was not talking to people at all, but to this mountain monster!

    Huacheng must have understood, and said: “It just so happens that I can borrow its wind and don’t have to walk slowly.When we get there, this man will appear outside the stone wall, and then we will know what he wants to do.”

    Xie Lian looked solemn.Huacheng noticed this and said: “Brother, what’s wrong?”

    Xie Lian said: “What do you mean you haven’t fully awakened yet?”

    The voice just said, “His Highness is still in a state of not fully awakening. If he wakes up…it’s hard to imagine what he will do this time.Xie Lian said: “If that person is really my master and he is talking about me, what does that sentence mean?””

    Huacheng Road: “Brother, don’t think too much.First, that person may not be your master; second, the ‘His Royal Highness’ he refers to may not necessarily be you.”

    Xie Lian said: “But what if it is?I have some baseless guesses. Please help me listen and see if they make sense.”

    Huacheng Road: “Okay.Brother, tell me.”

    Xie Lian said: “If this person is my master, there are three mountains: old age, illness, and death, but there is no life.But he can communicate with the mountain monsters.He is a person, and the person he is talking to is a mountain monster. The “two of them” mentioned in their conversation may be two other mountain monsters.Four in total.I’m wondering, do these three mountain monsters have human consciousness?Or, they themselves are transformed into humans, and the national master is the ‘life’ that has never appeared before!”

    The more he thought about it, the more his heart beat wildly, and he continued: “Tonglu Mountain was once the territory of Wuyong Kingdom.There happened to be four “birth, old age, sickness and death”; there happened to be four guardian gods of Prince Wu Yong; and there happened to be four Xianle Guoshi who taught me how to grow up!Generally speaking, would there be as many as four national preceptors in a country?I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it before, but later I realized that there weren’t usually so many of them.Do you think this is a coincidence, or does it mean something?”

    Huacheng said: “It doesn’t mean anything.Maybe it just happens to be four.Aren’t the four scenes also four?If there are not enough four of the four major evils, one must be forced to make up for it.”

    Xie Lian was still following his own train of thought, and said: “If, indeed, my four masters are the four guardian gods of Prince Wu Yong, then why do they want to be our national masters in Xianle?Why come to teach me?Is there something else going on with me that I don’t even know about?Could it be that I actually…”

    He was a little confused when he thought about it. Huacheng held his shoulders and said firmly: “No!I can guarantee that you are you and not anyone else.Trust me.Don’t think too much.”

    Xie Lian woke up from a dream and said: “…You are right.I’m a little confused.”

    The Imperial Master is the person he is most familiar with and closest to besides his parents.Although the Imperial Master often disliked him and often had reservations about his identity, in general, he was a good teacher.It is indeed easy to get confused when you suddenly realize that you may not understand someone you thought you knew well at all.Huacheng slowed down his tone and said: “Okay, brother.Think about it carefully first, what is the origin of Xianle Guoshi?”

    Xie Lian thought about it carefully and said: “…I don’t know.”

    Really, he couldn’t even remember where his master came from.After pondering for a moment, he thanked Lian and said: “The Imperial Master was the Imperial Master before I was born. I only know that his name is Mei Nianqing, but needless to say, this must be a false name.I had also thought before that why the Imperial Master was so powerful that he was not promoted. But if that person was him, then he must have lived longer in this world than me.”

    Huacheng Road: “The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it with soil.Remember I am responsible for everything.I’m always on your side.”

    Xie Lian looked at him and was speechless.After a while, he smiled slightly.Yinyu’s sense of presence was low to begin with, and because he kept silent very wisely, he was almost forgotten. At this time, he said: “City Lord, do you need to find someone else?”

    They came out, but Pei Ming and the others still didn’t know where they were swallowed by the mountain monster.Xie Lian hurriedly said: “Look!We’ve found it together.Your Highness Yinyu, please wait.”

    Yin Yu said: “Your Highness, there is no need to call you Your Highness… I have stopped being a priest in heaven a long time ago.”

    Xie Lian smiled and said: “Then you can also call me by my name. You don’t have to be so polite.I have ceased to be His Highness the Crown Prince for a long time.”

    Yinyu glanced at Huacheng behind him and said hurriedly: “This…don’t dare, don’t dare.”

    Xie Lian said: “What is there to be afraid of?”Two steps away, he was about to pick up Quan Yizhen’s tumbler when suddenly a figure fell from the sky and fell heavily in front of him, making a crisp sound of bones breaking.
